The Secret Service agents who admitted Tareq and Michaele Salahi to last week's state dinner have been placed on administrative leave and face a range of discplinary actions, including possibly losing their jobs, the director of the agency told a Congressional committee Thursday.

Secret Service chief Mark Sullivan took full responsibility for the Nov. 24 security failure, testifying at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee that "this is our fault and our fault alone."

Sullivan did not specify how many agents are under scrutiny because of the incident, which has sparked international curiosity and condemnation. He said the agents in question face a range of disciplinary actions, and would not rule out the possibility that they would be fired.

In my opinion, the agents should not be fired. Rather they should be reassigned at most.
